Carbon cycle passport
Students simulate a molecule of carbon’s movement through various parts of the carbon cycle, before acting out different human impact scenarios. By inspecting differences before and after 6000 years ago, students can begin to develop an understanding of the onset of human environmental impacts on different Earth systems processes.
